LibriVox recording of Ancient Tales and Folklore of Japan by Richard Gordon Smith.
Read in English by Stefan Von Blon; Lynda Marie Neilson; David McKay; realisticspeakers; melaniebjensen; Maria Melodia Queri; Josh Kibbey; Angelique G. Campbell; lcastleb1; Rob Marland; Vlad Amelchuck; Colleen McMahon
Tales of Folklore are often of special interest. Anything may happen to ordinary mortals in the world painted by folklore. But it becomes even more interesting when you dive into folklore of places away from your own culture.
This volume is a collection of ancient Japanese tales. We hear of ordinary mortals interacting with the spirit world, sometimes to their benefit, sometimes to their doom, we hear of love and hate, and of war and peace. Some of the stories will be entirely new to most readers, some of them will be uncannily familiar. - Summary by Carolin
